About the artist/owner: Adam Pate is the originator of the 60 Second Speed Sketch Caricature and he draws more people per hour than any other caricature artist in the world. He can draw up to 200 guests at a typical wedding reception type of event, while strolling from table to table. He also encourages participants to watch him draw over his shoulder and TIME HIM as part of the performance. Adam has trained 3 other artists to do a similar performance. They are the only other artists in the world that do this kind of performance.

Of course, he also does festival style caricatures on an easel for smaller parties, digital iCaricatures and offers some other very unique services that you will not find anywhere else! For example, he can draw the events as they unfold at your reception, do derriere drawings or lead highly interactive one of a kind group coloring and drawing activities.

In his 25+ years as an entertainer, Adam has encountered many "local party" entertainers. A few of them have blown him away with their professionalism, skill and talent and Adam has chosen to represent those memorable exceptions through his agency, Something Fun and Different Entertainment Company. (FunDiff for short) Check out the website to see our entertainers and get an idea of how we're different than any other agency you're going to find. For instance...

Something to consider when booking an artist for your event through an agency is that most agencies take your call and give your 'gig' to the cheapest guy they know, regardless of their experience or skill. Adam has worked alongside each and every artist he represents and knows from experience how extremely unique and gifted each one of them is. These artists each have the admiration of their peers and in many cases, actually taught many of them their trade. Adam considers the skill level and experience of the artists he represents to be consistent with his own standards and is comfortable staking his reputation on that claim.

You may notice that in most cases, we charge a little bit more than most artists in the "local party" market. In this case, you truly do get what you pay for. For instance, because he can draw 3-5 TIMES AS MANY caricatures, Adam charges just a bit more for his Speed Sketches. If you actually break the price down per person served, you'll see that the price is actually a bargain compared to Adam's 'competition' (including a photobooth if you really want to go there!). Adam and most FunDiff entertainers are available to travel anywhere in the country. Several have been featured on popular syndicated TV shows and won awards in their fields. World Class entertainment- ...is available for your back yard cook out!

Studio gift drawings, illustrations and graphic artwork can be drawn from emailed photos of people, pets and belongings, for individual awards, group drawings, logos, T-shirt designs and whatever else you have in mind. Please contact Adam to view his online illustration and graphic arts portfolio.

Wedding Reception - 6/8/2013

Communication and follow-up with Adam was prompt and complete, far surpassing ANY of the other vendors we hired!! He is to be commended for that. Our guests had a blast and have commented on what a great idea they thought it was. It was a great idea...

Adam was a pleasure to work with. He designed a special mermaid background to fit in with my daughter's theme. He went around the room and interacted with guests. He is also a very talented artist. I highly recommend his work!!
